While a trek through a nuked wasteland might not sound the most idyllic of pastimes, we'll make an exception for any game from the Fallout stable.

New Vegas takes us back to the grim future last seen in Fallout 3, this time set in Nevada's Sin City. A mix between first-person shooter and RPG mechanics, this version makes you a courier who's been shot and wounded.

You then search for your attackers in this wild, massive game. The engine is showing its age, but action RPGs don't come much better than this.
